Description
Another Ukiyo-e picture. The background is cherry, kimono is mahagony & curly maple, with a walnut obi (sash) & walnut butterflies.Overall dimensions: 13-1/2" by 18" (Excluding frame, approximately). The only part of this picture that I'm not happy with is the
paper She's writing on -- the ink from her writing bled into the paper so that it looks smudged.

Trying to get the wood grain to agree with the contents is what marquetry is all about.

I totally love ukiyo-e, as well as woodwork - especially pieces like this. I'm really suprised with how you've managed to craft all the folds and details in her kimono.
Have those characters been made with a burner pen or something?

The characters were placed in the picture using an ink/shellac mixture (tattooed as it were) over small cuts in the veneer.
